Knife Steel Chart for iphones

Currently it's version 1.1, as some of you know, 1.0 went online in Feb, but I had to pull it down right away.
This time it's there to stay App is free.

Functionality - 17 international steel standards, 4700 alloy names and ~900 unique compositions.
You can compare up to 5 alloy compositions, by all components, or by specific ones.
Synchronization with central knife steel database is also supported.

Pardon for the spartan design, I am a coder, no design skills, really.

Future plans - I'll try to keep the iOS app with web and Android versions. However, given the fact that I have to support 3 very different platforms Web/HTML5, Android and iOS, it's rather time consuming, so changes and updates won't be very frequent.
Besides, from the moment of submission, Apple takes about 2 weeks to "review" the app, that was the case for 1.0, same happened for 1.1. Not very encouraging for me. If I happen to introduce a bug, I can't fix it right away as with other platforms, but wait for 2 more weeks to upload the fix. Meanwhile I'd have to take down the app...
